There are two different sizes for those brackets I've noticed in my experience of working on them. Whatever bolt is the biggest that will fit in the hole is what you want. I believe there are two sizes on the brackets themselves, as well as two differently size holed radius arm brackets. I'd take the bracket with you to the hardware store and see what fits.

I have the Skyjacker extended radius arms on my 92 F150. The bolts that came in the kit for the brackets are 7/16 x 1 1/2" fine thread and are grade 8. Try your local speed shop, they should have a selection of grade 5 and grade 8 hardware.

When I got my Moog brackets they came with all new hardware. Might be a cheaper way to go compared to OEM and buying all the extras...
